Are your ready for some football? Walnut residents say ‘No!’

Not everyone is excited about Ed Roski’s proposed NFL stadium. Take residents June Wentworth, Shiuh-Moing Ellis, Rex Yee, Lucy Pao, and Lawrence Reinhold, for example. These five submitted a letter to the editor calling on residents to come to Walnut’s council meeting on Wednesday to protest the proposed stadium.

We urge all Walnut residents to come to the Walnut City Council meeting on Wednesday at 7 p.m. to speak out on the proposed NFL stadium to be built in the city of Industry.

Based on reading the Draft Supplemental Environmental Report (DEIR), listening to the developer’s presentation and applying our own experiences, in our opinion, the proposed stadium project will significantly and negatively impact Walnut.

The City will derive no benefit from the project, other than in the most general sense which in our view, equates to inconsequential probabilities.

As Walnut residents we must protect our most significant assets: our homes, our families and our quality of life. These are community values worth fighting for. We will not apologize for fighting and protecting our homes, our families and our city.

We do not accept claims that resident arguments regarding the NFL stadium and its impact on the city are coming from uninformed citizenry that just don’t get it and just don’t understand what’s good for them. We all have the right to oppose this project.

We believe Walnut residents know exactly what they are fighting for, particularly if given quality information in a timely manner.

Speak out on this issue! It is not a done deal. We can oppose this project even though it is not in Walnut’s jurisdiction.

Tell the Walnut City Council that we expect them to protect our homes, our families and our quality of life. Tell them that we do not want the negative impacts to our community the NFL stadium project will cause.

While we’re at it, I’d like to launch a protest against certain NFL players: DUDES! Get your stuff together! My Fantasy Team is tanking because of you!!!! Yeah, I’m talking to you Tomlinson. Fix that toe already!

Yes, STOP City of Industry from destroying our quality of life.

Perhaps, stop shopping and doing business with the City of Industry and then they will get the message.

The land belongs to the people not the corporate pigs that are all out for themselves and leave us in the pits.

Walnut and other cities need to stand up for the PEOPLE and tell City of Industry to take a hike.
